Can I?

May I lay next to you?
Just for the night?
So I know,
I'm safe...
So I know,
The monsters won't get me?
May I lay,
Next to you?
I swear not to bite.
I just need to know,
Everything will be okay.
I'm frightened of tomorrow.
You make the fear go away.
You make me forget the pain.
You make me smile,
And forget about the storm outside.
